Hello race fans!
Well, here we are, coming up on one of the most exciting races of the year! The Sprint All Star race in Charlotte,NC ! I am so excited and can't wait to watch it on Saturday night! It all starts with the Camping World Truck Series race on Friday night, then the All Star Showdown race on Saturday night and then the big race, the Sprint All Star race! Terry Lynch, owner of Lynch Tours & More has begun his Dream Tour week by going to the Pit Crew Challenge on Wednesday night, which Denny Hamlin's #11 team won! And, I'm sure you all know, that made me very happy! They will be going to all of the races, visiting most all of the race shops, eating in the Speedway Club above Charlotte Motor Speedway and then, topping it all off next weekend, by toasting the winner of the Coke 600 and heading back to the hotel in a limousine! WOW, now that's what I call an exciting week! Have fun guys!
Now, I must talk about last week's races at Dover. Kyle Busch had a chance to make history by winning all three races, Truck, Nationwide, and Cup. He almost pulled it off and was only three laps shy of doing it, but he had fuel pump issues while he was leading the Truck race, and had to pit with only a few laps to go. I'm sure he is kicking himself knowing he came that close, but he still had a great weekend with winning the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races. Congrats Kyle! I was happy to see Denny finish fourth in the Cup race considering he hasn't done well the last few times he raced there, so this was like a win to him I'm sure!
I was very glad to hear that Brian Vickers is out of the hospital and on the mend! It sounds like he could be out of commission for a while though, at least until the doctors can find out what caused the blood clots and until they are confident that Brian is well enough to get back in a race car. Until then, get well soon Brian, we are all pulling for you!
By now I'm sure you have heard that the lawsuit Jeremy Mayfield filed against NASCAR has been thrown out. I have very mixed emotions about this whole thing. I feel that NASCAR's handling of the situation could have been a little different, but I also feel that if Jeremy really has been doing drugs, that he needs to come forward and deal with it, apologize, and get help! I feel for him and his wife cause his career is over and now he has to find some way to make a living. Maybe he already has and I hope for his sake that is the case. Whatever the case may be, I wish you all the best Jeremy and please, if you do have a drug problem, get help! NASCAR fans can be very forgiving and I know they would love to see you come out of this with good results!
Finally, don't forget to watch all the action this weekend and next in Charlotte! I know I will be plus, I will be attending the Coke 600 weekend activities! I plan on writing another blog after all the races in Charlotte, so till then, have a great week and a safe Memorial Day weekend! Don't forget to remember those who serve and have served our country, after all, it's because of them that we have the freedom to go and enjoy the races! THANK YOU to all our men and women in the military, you truly are my HEROES!!!
See you at the races!

Hello race fans!
I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day weekend! I know I did, I spent it with my family and my husband's family and we had a very nice day! I ate way too much, but I didn't want to offend anyone by not eating! LOL! It was a great day to relax and that's exactly what I did, even though I'm not a mom!
What a spectacular weekend for Denny Hamlin at the Darlington Raceway! First, he wins the Nationwide race over his teammate Kyle Busch on Friday night, then he wins the Southern 500 Saturday night in the Sprint Cup race! It was quite a busy weekend for him, and I'm sure his knee was ready for a break! It's the first time anyone has swept both races at that track in 17 years! So, way to go Denny! I'm sure his mom was proud!
Also, while our group was attending the races in Darlington, some of our customers, and our tour representative Stephanie Strausberger, were interviewed by a local TV station in Myrtle Beach! That is where our group stays for the races. They talked to them about how the races in Darlington boost the local economy. If you want to check out the video or the article that was in the paper, go to Lynch Tours & More facebook page and see what they all had to say!
Just heard that Brian Vickers was hospitalized for an undisclosed illness, and will not be racing this weekend at Dover. Casey Mears will be filling in for him until he is better and can return to the track. I don't know what the illness is, but it must be pretty serious for him to miss a race. My thoughts and prayers are with him and best wishes for a quick recovery!
Speaking of Dover, this is what I call my home track! I am looking forward to going to Sunday's Autism Speaks 400 with my family and with a group of Lynch Tours & More customers! We will be cooking out before the race and the weather looks like it's going to be perfect! It should be a blast! Don't forget, Lynch Tours also takes a group in the fall to Dover for both the Nationwide race and the Sprint Cup race. Check out our website at www.racetour.com for pricing or give us a call at 888-racetour if you are interested in going! Also, check out our other race tour packages some of which include, Charlotte, Bristol, Texas, Martinsville, and many more!
So, on that note, good luck to everyone this weekend at the Monster Mile! They don't just call it that for nothing! It will eat you up and spit you out faster than you can imagine! And if you're at the track, don't forget to stop by and say hi in the bus parking lot. Be safe and have a great weekend!
See you at the races!

Hello race fans!
Well, it looks like we've had two more exciting races since my last blog! The Aaron's 499 in Talladega being the first one, which as promised, provided some of the best racing I have seen in a long time! I think it's safe to say that the spoiler is a big hit and even though there were several wrecks, everyone stayed on all four wheels and no one was injured. And, there was even more drama between teammates Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon. Now, I am not a Gordon fan, but I will tell you that what Jimmy did to him at the end of that race was totally wrong! Jimmy had to know that Jeff was coming with a full head of steam on the inside lane, so why he thought he could jump out in front of Jeff and get in line with him is beyond me! Jimmy's middle lane was not going anywhere, so if he wanted to get in the same line as Jeff, he should've waited until Jeff's line was past him and then tucked in behind them. I don't think there were alot of cars coming up on the inside if I remember correctly. I know he probably wanted to be in front, but wow, he could have triggered a very big accident that would have taken out alot of drivers! Thankfully, Jeff took the high road (or in this case the low lane!)and went below the yellow line and was shuffled back to the back of the pack, or else it could've gotten really ugly!!! Too bad for Jeff, because he got caught up in another wreck not of his doing. I would have been mad at Jimmy too! But, apparently Rick Hendrick sat down with the two of them and they supposedly got it straightened out. But, I bet there is alot more annomosity between the two of them then we will ever see! Now, having said all that, congratulations goes to Kevin Harvick on a spectacular win! What a great move he made on Jamie McMurray at the last second to get around him and beat him to the finish line! That was awesome!!!
Then, it was off to Richmond International Raceway for the Crown Royal Presents the Heath Calhoun 400. This is one of my most favorite tracks! I was there with Lynch Tours & More and a great group of customers! It was a perfect night for racing and though most of the race was not what we are used to seeing at Richmond, it was still a pretty exciting! The last twenty laps were very exciting and just when you thought Jeff Gordon was going to win, here comes Kyle Busch with two laps to go and steals the win! Kyle pretty much dominated the first part of the race and then he faded back for a while, but there he was at the end with four fresh tires and took the win! Congrats Kyle! I know Jeff was disappointed, but we all know it's only a mattter of time before he wins. My driver on the other hand, struggled most of the night. Denny started 30th, which is so uncharacteristic of him at that track, but he did manage to work his way up to the top ten before falling to eleventh at the end. Still, not a bad finish but I know he was disappointed!
Now we're off to Darlington Raceway this weekend! We will have a group there, so if you're there, stop by and say hi! Stephanie is the tour representative there this weekend with her husband Brian. I'm sure they will have a great time as always! Good luck to everyone at the Southern 500!
Also, don't forget this Sunday is Mother's Day! Make sure you take wonderful care of your mom's, they are very special people in our lives! And, to my mom and my mother-in-law, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, I LOVE YOU BOTH!
Have a great weekend and we'll see you at the races!
